Ten It Is!!!! The Academy Awards Will Now Nominate 10 films For Best Picture.

For the next Academy Awards show, we will now see 10 films nominated for best movie. Great news, as now I can see the upcoming "Public Enemies" take one of those spots. Had they done that this year, probably The Dark Knight would have been nominated for best film. Wall-E would have also been nominated. As per Yahoo.com/movies, this is a return to the nominee lists of the 1930's and 1940's when the 10 best films were nominated for best movie.

Its a great move by the Academy who has recently lost their mojo, nominating films like "The Curious case of Benjamin Button" which was a dissapointment to me, and one of the most boring flicks I've seen. The Academy needs to be much more focused in nominating box office hits that were also critically acclaimed. Did anyone really saw "Driving Miss Daisy back in 1989"? or "Crash in 2005"? in 2007, people went to see "No Country for Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" because they were realesed close to the Academy Awards show, and since they were nominated almost right after their release, audiences were curious. The Academy needs to look back at 1998, when the show had probably the biggest ratings, and that's when "Titanic" swept most of the nominations.

I'm not a movie expert and I'm not a professional critic. If The Academy of Arts wants to keep this pop culture tradition alaive, it needs to risk a bit more, annd celebrate those worthy films that most people liked. They need to do what was done in the 70's and early 80's. Nominate bluckbusters, like Star Wars in 1977, The Raiders of The Losta Ark in 1981, ET in 1982, The Silence of The Lambs and Disney's The Beauty and The Beast in 1992.

The Academy needs to nominate films we love and give them the baldie. Period.
